Laugh your heart out. Dance in the rain. Cherish the moment. Ignore the pain. Live, love, laugh. Forgive & Forget. Life's too short to live with regrets.

Through all of the things I’ve said
All of the thing I’ve heard
All the things I’ve made
All the bridges I burned

All the colors of this life
All the things that I strive for
All the darkness mixed in
All of the things I’m deprived of

When you are born, you know nothing
As a child you are ignorant
You learn a lot as you go
Including your loss of innocence

You just got to keep going
That my estimation of life
Can’t let it keep you down
Just have push past the strife

No matter how much something gets you down, you learn from your mistakes, and you just have to keep going.
